Rock Against Austerity: “Sing Your Heart Out For Council Housing”
Daylight robbery – What happened to your Pay rise? #ScrapTheCap
For years now, public service workers have seen their pay held back by government in the name of austerity. First a freeze then a cap saw public sector pay rise by just 4.4% between 2010 and 2016 while the cost of living rose by 22%.
Barnet UNISON has produced some examples based on the top of each grade within the Council in order to provide an insight into how much pay our members working for Barnet Council has lost as a result of the Pay Cap imposed on public sector workers.
If you don’t work for Barnet Council you can still work out how much you have lost so far be using the UNISON online pay calculator here https://www.unison.org.uk/our-campaigns/pay-up-now/

#ScrapTheCap “How Barnet Council staff have lost so far”
UNISON Family Services meeting 12th September
School Staff Grading Appeal imminent – “You are worth it “
This is an update for all Barnet Council school UNISON members
Before I start I want Barnet UNISON members to listen to the Prime Minister Theresa May where she states: “We have the fifth largest economy in the world.”
Hold on to what the Prime Minister has said.
Please don’t let others say that our members can’t be paid the proper rate for the job in a country which is the “fifth biggest economy in the world.”
Back to the grading appeals.
Barnet UNISON has for the last 12 months been supporting council workers with grading issues.
The last big group of workers to go to a Grading Appeal hearing are school support staff.
I want to go through the group appeals in order all of our members are aware and take part in helping deliver a positive result which will see an increase in pay.
# Please Note: School support staff are now all paid Term Time only. The Salary scales are calculated on a worker working 36 hour week and a standard 52 week contract.
Level 2 Teaching Assistant Appeal
The current salary range for a Level 2 Teaching Assistant is:
£19, 917 to £21,884

Level 3 Teaching Assistant Appeal

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Sometime in September if you are in one of the above posts, you will receive a letter from Barnet Council.
The Council will ask a simple question.
“Do you support an Appeal to your grade?”
It is important that everyone replies YES and sends in the form to the Council.
Last term Nursery Nurses made sure we had a massive YES response.
If we get a YES vote the next stage will be the formal appeal hearing.
I will be conducting each appeal for Barnet UNISON members. However I will be accompanied by two UNISON members for each Appeal.
I will be contacting members to establish who will be attending with me.
Keep a look out for emails, and text messages from Barnet UNISON. It is important to us in Barnet UNISON that we help all of our members to get the right pay for the job they are in.
Any questions please contact the Barnet UNISON office on 0208 359 2088 or email contactus@barnetunison.org.uk
